Eclipse 10th Birthday Parties

From November 1-30, we are inviting individuals to organize and attend Eclipse 10th Birthday Parties around the world.

The birthday parties will feature both birthday cake and Eclipse demos! The parties provide a way to meet members of the Eclipse community in your area, and the demos are an opportunity to showcase all of the cool technology being built by your local community.

The demos can be of research projects, Eclipse open source projects, applications based on Eclipse, commercial products using Eclipse or whatever you think might be of interest to the attendees. The only stipulation is that it must be Eclipse related.

To encourage organizers to get in the birthday mood, the Eclipse Foundation will provide an extra $100 in sponsorship money (for a total maximum of $400 per party) to organizers who include a birthday cake with their event. (We'll need a receipt for the purchase of the cake, along with photos of it at your party.) Here's an example of a cake served at one of the Eclipse 5th birthday parties:
